Blair Morris Headshot

Certain teachers had an aura of cool about them, and Blair Morris was one of them. He taught geography and urban studies.

I guess when it comes right down to, he respected students as people, and gave considerable leeway. As a teacher, he didn't exercise his authority with what I call "the gratuitous NO". A lot of authority figures say NO to things just because they can. Blair always considered things, and if they made sense to him, he allowed it. One example was the coffee and tea club that Henry Kowalewski and I ran in his class.

Blair Morris' wife taught at the same time as well at OCHS.
